Fly Away [feat. Jessy J] - From The Album: Diamonds. The key attribute of any truly successful artist is the ability to consistently write music of the quality that can shape a career. This doesnt always come easy but in the case of writer, producer and keyboard player Jonathan Fritzen he really has hit the ground running. Reaching to the very core of what great smooth jazz should be, his 2008 debut Love Birds announced him as a performer of tremendous promise yet it seemed incredible when less than a year later he returned with the equally impressive VIP. It proved to be a run-away success, spent a total of 40 weeks on the SmoothJazz Top 50 and propelled the infectious title cut to a top-10 placing on the Billboard charts. Now, brand new for 2010 and with a street date of June 19, Fritzen is continuing his exciting musical journey with the highly anticipated and delightfully accessible Diamonds. Described as his most personal project yet, he has composed all ten tracks, produced throughout and in common with VIP engaged the services of some really outstanding guest artists. Laila Adele, who featured on VIP, makes a welcome return while both Alex Al and Mel Brown contribute on bass. Sax duties are shared between Koh (aka Mr. Saxman, with whom Fritzen recently worked in Thailand), the ubiquitous Darren Rahn and rising smooth jazz starlet Jessy J. Indeed her performance on the sultry Fly Away is something to savor and a special mention must go to the soul drenched Youll Be My Mine where not for the first time Adele steals the show. Rahn, who also mixed the album, provides an input to the mid tempo This Way That Way that is sure to make it a favorite of the airwaves but that said the first single to be serviced to radio is Dance With Me which finds Fritzen at his rhythmic best. Jonathan Fritzen was born in Stockholm to a Swedish mother and an American father. As a young child he playing drums and later added piano, bass, guitar, flute and vocals. By the age of 22 Jonathan had performed on national Swedish television several times and toured with some of the countries most respected jazz musicians. Three years later he recorded Love Birds and the rest, as they say, his history. With Diamonds he is all set to write a new chapter. ENJOY THIS TUNE. !!! https://youtube/watch?v=UztO00JUNyE&index=20&list=PLtny9jfHRuEh-9oe0uFkI7Yo9fIc2-lzN
